# NBL Odds API

The Odds API covers NBL odds for live and upcoming games in a simple JSON API.

The usage cost of the API call in this example is

usage cost = [number of markets] x [number of regions] = 3 x 1 = 3 credits

If you only need featured markets (moneyline, spreads, totals), it will be more cost-efficient to query the odds endpoint since it will return multiple games.
